Description
“The Three Fat Men” is a fairy tale about revolution. And revolution is absolutely not a child’s thing, so Yuri Olesha’s fairy tale is unlike anything else. The author managed, in vivid language, to depict an optimistic fairy-tale world where it’s not simply that good defeats evil, but where magic and amazing images of the heroes intertwine to create a unique plot. Of course, you could accuse the author of Soviet propaganda—or you could see in his tale a story capable of capturing both a boy and a girl. Good wins over bad. You must fight for justice, and then justice triumphs. There are almost no shades of gray in the fairy tale—only black and white, and that’s exactly what children’s perception needs.
“Тhe Three Fat Men” is, above all, a children’s book. Adults will likely see in it class division, which may draw their criticism. But children will be able to perceive the fairy-tale revolution separately from events in our country. They will surely be interested in the exciting adventures and will genuinely rejoice at the victory of good over evil.
